Chapter 367: Three Months of Preparation

After making up his mind, Chen Ziyao began to refine the Xuanming Ancient Sword. Because this was his first time cultivating the natal weapon, Chen Ziyang didn't have much experience to learn from, so he could only follow the method that the old Taoist taught him step by step.

The ritual of the natal weapon takes time, generally the shortest is only half a month, and the length of time to refine the natal weapon depends on the weapon itself, if the better the weapon, the more yang energy contained in it, then the longer the time of the sacrifice, but in the same way, the longer the time of the sacrifice, the greater the effect of the weapon.

Every day, Chen Ziyang had to bite the middle finger of his left hand, gently smear the blood of his middle finger on the sword, and at the same time use his mana to pour it into the sword. As the time of the sacrifice became longer and longer, Chen Ziyang felt the Yang Yang Qi and the kingly qi coming out of this sword getting heavier, as if the seal of this sword was being untied by himself little by little.

However, what Chen Ziyang didn't expect was that his sacrifice had been going on for more than a month but it still hadn't ended, although Chen Ziyang had thought that it was not easy to refine this ancient sword, after all, this sword was so good, but he never thought that it would take so long.

Seeing the middle finger of his left hand that was about to be poked, Chen Ziyang felt like crying, and if he continued like this, his left finger would be abolished. Biting off a small piece of flesh every day, Chen Ziyang felt that his fingers seemed to be shorter for more than a month.

In this month's time, Chen Ziyang received several calls from Wang Lele, Wang Lele kept urging him to go to the capital, saying that he had something very important to tell him, but because he had more important things to do, Chen Ziyang refused, but every time he asked Wang Lele what important things were, Wang Lele said that this matter could only be told in person.

After a few phone calls, seeing that Chen Ziyang was unmoved, Wang Lele seemed to be angry, so he never called Chen Ziyang again. Chen Ziyang is also happy, it seems that what Wang Lele said should not be important, otherwise she would have told herself on the phone.

After such a long period of conditioning, Yang Lei finally regained his original figure, and Umbrella Shishuai was also busy taking care of his pregnant wife. The three of them get together less often, except for the occasional time when the three of them go to the mountains together to see the growth of the crops in the mountains they pack.

Yang Lei was managed by his wife, and Umbrella Shishuai was because he had to take care of his pregnant wife, and the two of them didn't understand why Chen Ziyang was so honest during this time, and he never found the other two people to play mahjong or drink, but always stayed at home alone.

Chen Ziyang was not easy to explain the situation to them, after all, he had already planned to go to Shaanxi alone this time, so he said a panic, saying that he had found some hobbies during this time and was working hard to study.

In fact, Chen Ziyang is not lying, he has really found two things to do recently. One thing was that he wanted to match this Xuanming Ancient Sword with a scabbard. Chen Ziyang had an idea that he wanted to make a scabbard for this sword with his own hands, so he recently went to the workshop of a carpenter he knew to learn carpentry, and wanted to try to make this sword with a wooden scabbard himself.

And the other thing is that he now likes to search for photos of some bronze ancient swords on the Internet. Chen Ziyang's original intention was to carefully study and study this Xuanming Ancient Sword, after all, he really loved this sword very much, and he really wanted to know everything about this sword.

So every day, in addition to the time of refining the ancient sword, Chen Ziyang spent his time on these two things. During the day, he went to the carpenter's workshop to learn carpenter's work, and at the same time tried his hand at making scabbards.

At night, he sat in front of the computer, carefully searching for all the information about the Bronze Ancient Sword, but no matter how Chen Ziyang searched, he never found a sword similar to the Xuanming Ancient Sword in his hand.

However, when searching, Chen Ziyang also found a problem. He felt that it was very likely that his previous judgment on the casting age of this Xuanming Ancient Sword was wrong, and it was very likely that this sword was not cast during the Qin Dynasty, but should have been in the Han Dynasty.

The reason for Chen Ziyang's judgment is very simple, that is, because the sword handle of the Xuanming Sword resembles the shape of a pagoda, when searching for information, Chen Ziyang knew that Buddhism was introduced to the land of China from the Han Dynasty, and the construction of Buddhist stupas at that time was also passed on, and later the construction of these stupas was combined with some other construction methods in the land of China at that time, so that there was a later tower.

Since the hilt of the Xuanming Ancient Sword is a tower, then that means that at least the person who cast this ancient sword has seen the tower, so this sword should have been cast in the Han Dynasty at the earliest.

However, what made Chen Ziyang happiest was that he had seen countless photos of the bronze ancient sword these days, although there were many fine products in it, but none of the bronze ancient swords he saw in the photos could compare to the Xuanming ancient sword in his hand. This made Chen Ziyang very happy, and the sword in his hand may be the best among the bronze swords that have been found now.

But the more this was the case, the more Chen Ziyang felt that this gift was too valuable, and he really didn't understand why this treasure was sent to him. If Xiao Na wanted to thank herself, she had 10,000 other ways to use it, why would she send such a rare ancient sword to her hands, Chen Ziyang couldn't figure it out.

First of all, as far as Shawna is concerned, it is not a common thing for her to be able to own this sword. According to Liu Cong, Xiao Na's status in the Dragon Digging Society is not too high, even one level worse than Pan Huayu, and such a treasure actually belongs to a small person like her, which Chen Ziyang can't figure out.

Even if this sword is owned by Xiao Na due to some chance, there must be a lot of people who covet this sword, which can be seen from Pan Huayu's letter. But Xiao Na just gave this sword to herself, Chen Ziyang always felt that Xiao Na must have a deep meaning behind her, but Chen Ziyang couldn't guess the meaning of it.

At first, Chen Ziyang thought that Xiao Na would hide some secrets in this sword, but after careful searching, Chen Ziyang found that there was no hidden grid or anything like that in this sword, and there were no other words engraved on the sword except for the two words he didn't recognize. After studying for several days and finding no clues, Chen Ziyang had no choice but to give up, most likely because he was thinking too much.

Every day in his spare time, Chen Ziyang has to find time to exercise, once the habit is formed, it is difficult to change, Chen Ziyang feels that among the habits he has developed since he was a child, only the habit of fitness is the healthiest, and it is also the most meaningful.

Every time after the workout, Chen Ziyang had to take out the Five Emperor Coins and put them in his hand to look at them, and carefully outline the new use of the Five Emperor Coins in his mind.

When he was in the Absolute Yin Land, Chen Ziyang not only lost a copper coin, but also almost injured himself by the attack method of his copper coin, so Chen Ziyang decided to change the use of these five Five Emperor Coins, and there was another reason for his idea, that is, Chen Ziyang found that since he used these five Five Emperor Coin separately, the effect of the copper coin seemed to have decreased a lot.

I recall that when my old Taoist master used these five Five Emperor Coins, he used a red rope to tie these five copper coins into a string, and when he used them, he directly threw out the red rope, and the five Five Emperor Coins, which could attack evil things at the same time, so that the yang energy in the five copper coins echoed each other, and only then could the effect of this set of copper coins be brought into play.

And he uses five red threads to tie five copper coins respectively, and each time he uses it, he can only play one or two, so that the other copper coins will be wasted, and at the same time, the five copper coins that are separated cannot echo each other, which is really a waste of this set of treasures.

So Chen Ziyang was going to combine his previous experience in using the Five Emperor Coins and his old Taoist master's method of using the Five Emperor Coins, he put the five copper coins together, and then tied the five copper coins tightly with a wire rope wrapped around the red thread he made, so that the five copper coins could be combined to maximize their effectiveness, and at the same time, they did not need to change the method they had already used proficiently to re-familiarize themselves.

The five copper coins are very heavy after being tied together, so that when you throw your hands out, it is more handy, but the requirements for wrist strength are also much greater, so Chen Ziyang has to spend some time to familiarize himself with his new way after each workout, but fortunately, he has played yo-yo before, and has accumulated a lot of experience for the current way of attacking. After a few days, the refurbished artifact was ready to use.

Because Chen Ziyang was going to Shaanxi alone this time, he hoped that he could be more prepared. The material preparations are almost complete, and the rest is to improve their abilities, after all, this time they are going alone, and it is difficult to say what kind of variables they can encounter.

In addition to the complex tomb robbery forces that he needs to deal with, he is also very likely to encounter some unbelievable things in the tomb, after all, Lao Lu has repeatedly told him before that the huge diamond called the source of life is really a bit evil.

At that time, Lao Lu just touched the diamond with his finger, and he was able to see what was happening outside the earthen wall, as if he had gained the ability to see through the eyes, but these things were not what he saw with his eyes, but directly reflected in his mind. Lao Lu thought about it for fifteen years and didn't understand the key, so Chen Ziyang felt that it was better to be careful and sail the 10,000-year-old boat.

So he took back a lot of Taoist classics from the box left by the old Taoist master. What he is best at is the feng shui technique of finding dragon points, but what he is not good at is the Taoist technique of subduing demons and eliminating demons, and it is precisely because of the spur of this incident that Chen Ziyang made up his mind to start practicing hard.

This is what Lao Dao asked him before, and he couldn't do it, but now that he has grown older, Chen Ziyang's heart has changed a lot, and he has started to study hard again under this pressure.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time to approach the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, after Chen Ziyang had completed the sacrifice of the Xuanming Sword, he suddenly felt a throbbing coming from the sword. The yang energy contained in the sword echoed with the mana in his body, and the two resonated for a long time.

The Xuanming Sword trembled slightly in Chen Ziyang's hand, and at the same time, it kept making a buzzing sound, and at the same time, Chen Ziyang felt that through the yang energy coming from the sword, the mana in his own body had also increased.

At this time, Chen Ziyang realized that his sacrifice to the sword had finally been completed, and from this moment on, this Xuanying Sword had become his natal weapon.

After being excited for a long time, Chen Ziyang inserted the Xuanming Sword into the scabbard that had already been made, and he knew that it was time to leave for Shaanxi to fulfill Lao Lu's last wish. Although Chen Ziyang has been preparing for this moment for a long time, when this moment really comes, he has all kinds of feelings in his heart.

After preparing for so long and finally achieving results, Chen Ziyang's heart was naturally happy, but when he thought that this time he went out, it was very likely that he would die in nine deaths, and without the help of Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai, it was very likely that this time he would encounter more danger than before.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Ziyang accompanied his parents to admire the moon, eating grapes and mooncakes under the moonlight, and the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he told his parents about his upcoming trip.

Because Chen Ziyang had told his parents about Lao Lu before, the second elder was not too likely to stop him, but Chen Ziyang's parents didn't know that Chen Ziyang was hiding a lot of things when he was talking, because he didn't want his parents to worry too much about him when he was talking.

Although every time Chen Ziyang goes out, they are very worried, and at the same time, they don't want him to go out like this, but in Chen Nianzhong's words, a manly man must take responsibility when he stands between heaven and earth.

Although this responsibility is different from each person, men must shoulder the burden on their shoulders, no matter how light or heavy this burden is in the eyes of others, as long as they feel worthy of doing things, they must stick to it.

In order to keep the second elder from worrying too much, Chen Ziyang said that he only went to help Lao Lu give a message to his family this time, so that they could know the location of Lao Lu's burial, so that Lao Lu's bones could be brought back to his hometown for burial, and at the same time, there was no danger this time, so he didn't let Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai go together, after all, both of them also had things to do.

Seeing that his son was going alone, the second elder also felt that there should not be much danger for him to go this time, so he didn't ask too much, so Chen Ziyang started his trip to Shaanxi.
